Quotable Moments

If you think about anything that can either be processed out of hardwood lumber or sheet goods on a CNC, whether it be wood or plastic or laminate or phenolic or resin combined with metals and anything that makes pre made and manufactured assemblies that get installed in the building, that's millwork. - Jacob Edmond
I do something until I figure out a process. And then I find somebody to train to repeat that process that I can delegate it to. That's entrepreneurship. That is Business." - Jacob Edmond
What I learned to do in architecture school was how do you solve design problems? And really, it was how do you understand from your client, not what they're thinking their solution is, but what is their problem statement? - Jacob Edmond
